I need some input on what could be wrong with my car. I think I know what it is but I'm hoping that I'm wrong. This is what happened. I hardly ever let my car go over 3k rpms. I never get on it like flooring it or anything. I mostly baby this car. Anyways last week I was going to pass up a car and I get on it and the car stalls and I get a check engine light. I figured it could be anything. Well saturday I'm on my way to school and the car starts stalling really bad. So I call a buddy of mine and take the car to his shop. WE get the car scanned and It was misfiring pretty bad on cylinder one. I took the plug out and the pin on the plug wich is supposed to be at a .50 gap was pinned shut to the plug I was like WTF! I figured I might of dropped it when I tuned up the car. It was an NGK TR55 V power plug. So I drive from alsip to chicago with the car running fine thinking it was an easy fix. WEll later on the day I'm on my way to chicago and the same thing happens. I drive back home and open the car up and proceed to take all plugs out again. WEll this time the same thing happened to cylinder #5. The pin on this plug was pushed in so bad it actually bent the pin out to the side. Now I know I have some major problem with the car. I'm not getting it why The piston is hitting the plug??? Its been running fine for 140k and now Its taking a shit on me :angry: NOt even my older bro's SSEI is doing this with 180k.
What could be causing this? I'm thinking I could get away with shorter plugs. But what plugs would be short enough to avoid this? The car is not knocking or mixing or anything. I put the new plug and it seems to be running fine. I know that If I floor it again its going to do the same thing with probably a different cylinder.
What should I do? Any suggestions? I'm open to anything.
